Dhanush’s new film with ‘Petta’ director Karthik Subbaraj is all set to begin in UK. Malayali actress Aishwarya Lekshmi plays the female lead in the film and the actress has already landed there. The film is planned as gangster-thriller and it has now got a big addition from Hollywood. James Cosmo, known for his appearances in films like ‘Braveheart’, ‘Troy’, ‘The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion’, as well as the popular TV series ‘Game of Thrones’ has been signed to play a very crucial part in the film.
